A vision is a pictorial expression of where God is leading and what we are becoming by following.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (Proverbs 29:18 KJV)

A vision for your life is therefore often expressed in three simple but profound statements;
- Who you are
- What you do
- How and why you what you do
This sums up your identity, mission, strategy and motives. This kind of knowing comes by divine revelation (Habakkuk 2:1-4).
It is important to understand that without such an understanding; your life may be a cycle of struggles. Without this kind of vision, we may spend our years and days in futility.
If a fish spends all of its days learning to fly, it would end up as a failure, and yet it could easily have been a master at swimming.
Every one of us must strive to receive this kind of understanding. We must discover who we are, what we do, how and why we do it. This revelation is the master keys to success.
Where there is no such revelation the people live anyhow and fail; but you shall be directed and guided to your destiny. May the Lord speak to you and may He lead you to discover who you are.
- Who we are;
We are the body of Christ on Earth (1 Corinthians 12:27-28) built up into a spiritual house to
- Offer spiritual sacrifices
- Proclaim (re-present) the excellence of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:9)
- What we do;
We are called to engage, encourage, empower, and equip men and women to;
- Mix the Word with faith
- Have Holy Spirit encounters
- Continue in fellowship
- Live balanced lives
- Reach out and care for others (Ephesians 4:1-16)
- How and why we do it:
We gather, pray, plan, and pursue the lost at all costs that none should perish. (Acts 2:40-47)
May you see where God is taking you in 2017, and what you are becoming as you follow Him, in Jesus’ name!
I wish you a prosperous 2017
I love you, and God bless you!
